Sci-Fi – anything else sci-fi
FINALLY, a decent plot that grabs me. And a great actor moment that helps me define the bad guy. Where was this when they wanted to keep my attention? Are they like Lost and making it up as they go along. Seems like it. If they played this up a little more through out the…
I have been very unhappy with the direction of what could have been a great show – the new Battlestar Galactica. For the past whole season, I have come to the end of each episode complete dissatisfied and asking myself “what the heck did I just watch?” I have been trying to figure this out…
I have heard this described as a Sci-fi soap oprah… space soap oprah, I guess. A BSG meets Dallas/Falcon Crest type story. More focus on drama, less on sci-fi, I would guess, since that’s the direction of the current BSG show. If this is true, I could be sadly disappointed. I do like the politics…
OK, the big reveal is over. They made it to earth and it is a nuclear slag heap. Or IS it Earth? That’s the big question. On the bright side, at least it is not Earth in the 1980s. There is very little to analyze but I would say that this is not really Earth….
OK, so they finished off the Ori once and for all. But how… through an ancient device known as the Ark of Truth. What does it do? It makes people see the truth of what they believe. Is that hokey? Well… I can see where some people could say it is and I know a…
OK, so I finally watched the finale. A short-lived series that apparently is not returning to TV (or likely not returning). I guess there is a chance it will return because it is considered “on the bubble” but because of the writer`s strike, a lot of good shows are getting killed. So I would not…
I watched this episode twice. Once online with the sneak preview in Yahoo and then Sunday night after football. As it was billed as the journey from T2 to the next 3 movies they are planning, I was excited but confused. Where did T3 go? Well, according to what I read, that is now considered…
Well, the hype started early last year and I watched all three hours, some with my daughter who is a big “Wizard of Oz” fan. It was billed as a re-imagining of a classic tale. It started out fairly strong, with interesting twists here and there, and I liked some of the characterizations overall. The…
I had a discussion with a friend on IM that got me thinking… Is there a point that your fandom of something will break and you have to move on to something else? Or is it fair-weather fandom to give up on something after it crosses a certain line? I`ve been this way about two…
Not surprisingly, both these shows have been cancelled, `Dresden Files` had its problems because the episodes were shown in the wrong order. But it had much more potential than Painkiller Jane. PKJ simply made me sick. It seems that the execs at sci-fi are trying to insert too much drama into the sci-fi genre and…
